Kobe Bryant Trolls Clippers Fans (P. 2)

I like what Petros said,to paraphrase after Kobricks rant,"Kobe is mad at the Laker front office for doing what Kobe asked them to do".

Again anything he says doesn't matter. You all are confusing talent with personality. Great people are usually not nice people. If Kobe had been playing SG instead of Cat and he didn't act an ass we would have gone to the Finals .Maybe won. He would have been great no matter who was the coach or who he played with. If he and Shaq didn't act like spoiled children they could have had a monster....

Hold up, who's on the high horse here? Fans sticking up for their team or Kobe making a underhanded joke at the expense of someone else to feel better about himself? Even at his lowest, he deflects his own shortcomings onto others to stay on that high horse.

By your rationale, anything said in a joking manner that is factually true should not make anyone feel insulted. That's exactly what you're saying here. Sorry, that's absurd.

Oh, and Kobe was an amazing player. Now he's just a player breaking down on what people would consider casual basketball movements.

Yeah... once upon a time, kobe was a great player and the Clippers sucked.

And once upon a time kobe faced criminal charges for sexual assault and had to buy his own wife and children back for a $4,000,000 piece of jewelry.

See, snake-boy? ...we've all got cliche lines we can use, so don't quit your day job. Oh... my bad... he already did quit his day job when he realized that his team still sucks with him in the lineup, so he pretends he's still injured and blames everybody else. They call that "plausible deniability'.

The thing about snakes is... they have really big f*cking mouths, but not much in the way of brains.

I was done for the night but is Durant so tall that there's no oxygen up there and he's brain dead? Kobe Bryant the GOAT? That's like saying Sarah Palin is the GOAT or is that goat? I think Glen Rice might agree. Not that she's a farm animal but that she's GREAT. She was supposed to have been a dirty girl.

But back to the subject at hand. Kevin have you been huffing glue?

Godawful- Over the hill- Aging- Turd

Yes he's the GOAT

I can't speak for all but I think the problem,in my mind,is we are tired of being the whipping boys of the league , we are a top tier team now and not the Clippers of 5 years ago, and we still get picked on by the media, we fans and team alike. Kobe could have used the Kings or the Bucks or a myriad of other teams but he choose us to use in his jabs and really, how many years do we have to keep hearing this crap. We would win the Finals 3 times in a row and I'll bet we still get pounded on.

I actually think this thread would have existed no matter who made the statement though,Kobe, ZBO, doesn't matter. Clipper Nation is just tired of the jokes at our expense. All we ask is to give us our due for once.

The point is that the truth is its own defense. Like it or not he's right. Because of DTS we sucked but that was yesterday. We can erase that all by winning. We are now getting respect

BUT

This team made some of the most boneheaded moves imaginable, Olawakandi and that Russian dude, Sterling dumped good players to keep salary low thereby making HUGE profits. He didn't give a rat's rump about winning. We were according to many the worst franchise in professional sports. We stuck in there. Finally DTS spent the bucks and we were on our way to the WCF's but Sam boneheadedly took over 8 seconds to get to front court and turned it over. Then a boneheaded move. Ewing a nobody guarding Bell. Many say Bell pushed off. The next year we were a dark horse for the WCF's but the locker room became so toxic that we didn't even make the PO's We hung in there. DTS forks out the $$$ to build a super team but our franchise player bolts (Thank goodness). We hung in there. We keep Baron but he's a cancer.

Loss after loss disappointing after disappointment but we hung in there

A disappointment much of his own making and he folds. No he doesn't know what it's like to be a Clipper fan because we hang in there. Doesn't bother me a bit

I've been a Clipper Fan since 1992 and a HARD CORE CLIPPER FAN since 2005 when The Lakers traded away Shaq and not Kobe. It was another reason why I think Kobe was such a punk. Dude, just wait until Shaq gets older and then it will be your team. To force the hand there when you have a championship team and more chance at rings, was ridiculous. I was SO PISSED when the Pau Gasol trade went down and gave Kobe a chance at more championships and to his credit, he won two more. No doubt, Kobe is one of the top 10 best players to ever play and possibly Top 5. But as the years go by and his character comes out... we will see his true colors. And as his skills diminish and he no longer wins... and the Lakers stay irrelevant, we will see the true colors of Laker fans... some who are decent, but others who have been some of the most arrogant fans in the history of sports.

ONE Bad season and look at how they're acting this year. They are so entitled.

This is why I don't just wish for The Clippers to win a championship but for the Lakers to toil in misery for 5 years. They really need to experience it for at least 5 years to get a taste.

To have one bad year and say "now we know what its like to be Clipper fans" is an insult and slap to our face. KOBE, STFU. We'll see you next year when the Lakers will won't have an excuse. And with Kobe + Nash + Lottery pick + free agent, they will be the 9th seed for the next two years.

Here's the thing though... and we all know it. The only way to really win, is to win it all. And with Blake's dramatic improvement this year, and his work ethic....

This is the most excited I have EVER been as a Clipper Fan, as a basketball fan.... I think we all are.

Kaman, Brand, Corey, Cat Sam. We were touted to have one to the best front courts in the league. Not nearley as good as now but not bad and DTS would have forked out the $$$. Magette was going to take a pay cut. Corey was~ 20/5 and Brand was 20/10, Cat was ~15 ppg Sam was a cold blodded closer.

Also if good players wanted to play with Kobe and he signed for minimum remember he got $24 mill in endorsements and the lottery draft being a lottery team would be good for them it wouldn't be so bad for so long. Like it or not the LAL name does draw players. With minimal cap and no good players an aging star no draft picke and Kobebeing a worse jackass that ever it will b e2016-17 till they begin to rebuild unless Kobe retires.
